I'm wondering if there is some way to use a svn dump for the initial setup of the git repo. The svn dump could be downloaded (in compressed form) via FTP in a way that is by far faster than the initial git svn fetch Another option is to make available a pre-loaded git repo in compressed form. Developers that want to use git should download and uncompress the pre-loaded repo and re-sync using git-svn for getting last svn commits. -- Antonio Valentino _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
